The formerly supported '-1' value for disabling stays around for compat reasons. - * The PrivateTmp, PrivateDevices, PrivateNetwork, - NoNewPrivileges, TTYPath, WorkingDirectory and RootDirectory - properties can now be set for transient units. + * The PrivateTmp=, PrivateDevices=, PrivateNetwork=, + NoNewPrivileges=, TTYPath, WorkingDirectory= and + RootDirectory= properties can now be set for transient + units. + + * The systemd-analyze tool gained a new "set-log-target" verb + to change the logging target the system manager logs to + dynamically during runtime. This is similar to how + "systemd-analyze set-log-level" already changes the log + level. + + * In nspawn /sys is now mounted as tmpfs, with only a selected + set of subdirectories mounted in from the real sysfs. This + enhances security slightly, and is useful for ensuring user + namespaces work correctly. + + * Support for USB FunctionFS activation has been added. This + allows implementation of USB gadget services that are + activated as soon as they are requested, so that they don't + have to run continously, similar to classic socket + activation. + + * The "systemctl exit" command now optionally takes an + additional parameter that sets the exit code to return from + the systemd manager when exiting. This is only relevant when + running the systemd user instance, or when running the + system instance in a container. + + * sd-bus gained the new API calls sd_bus_path_encode_many() + and sd_bus_path_decode_many() that allow easy encoding and + decoding of multiple identifier strings inside a D-Bus + object path. Another new call sd_bus_default_flush_close() + has been added to flush and close per-thread default + connections. + + * systemd-cgtop gained support for a -M/--machine= switch to + show the control groups within a certain container only. + + * "systemctl kill" gained support for an optional --fail + switch. If specified the requested operation will fail of no + processes have been killed, because the unit had no + processes attached, or similar. + + * A new (still internal) libary API sd-ipv4acd has been added, + that implements address conflict detection for IPv4. It's + based on code from sd-ipv4ll, and will be useful for + detecting DHCP address conflicts. + + * The RuntimeDirectory= setting now understands unit + specifiers like %i or %f. + + * networkd gained support for setting the IPv6 Router + Advertisment settings via IPv6AcceptRouterAdvertisements= in + .network files. + + * udev will now create /dev/disk/by-path links for ATA devices + on kernels where that is supported. + + * When downloading tar or raw images using "machinectl + pull-tar" or "machinectl pull-raw", a matching ".nspawn" + file is now also downloaded, if it is available and stored + next to the image file. * Galician, Turkish and Korean translations were added. |
